The Jets are coming off a 3-2 loss to the Oilers last night in Winnipeg as they fell to a 0-1-1 record in the pre-season. That’s just how they started out last year and then won 56 regular season games for those that might be concerned about exhibition games.
Skate news:
They broke into a more veteran group of 34 players and a younger/AHL group of 12 (although Connor Hellebuyck was in this one so not all were younger/AHL). As per Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press it was a special teams day today for that larger group. He lists off the groups for PP and PK as listed below.
Power Play:
PP1: Scheifele, Connor, Vilardi, Perfetti, Morrissey
PP2: Toews, Namestnikov, Niederreiter, Nyquist, Pionk
PP3: Iafallo, Pearson, Lambert, Chibrikov, Miller (Yager and Heinola also rotating in).
Penalty Kill:
Samberg DeMelo
Fleury Schenn
Stanley Salomonsson
Barron Koepke
